Summary

The conversion rate of 10,000 IHG Rewards Club points is typically 2,000 frequent flier loyalty program miles — which means that you will get 3,000 MileagePlus miles as a result of this deal…

…so whether or not this promotion is worthy of your participation depends on your goals and priorities — and possibly timing. For example, 10,000 IHG Rewards Club points will get you two free nights at a hotel property which participates in PointBreaks or one free award night at the lowest tier of hotel properties; whereas 3,000 MileagePlus miles gets you slightly closer to an award ticket…

…but if you are seeking to top off your MileagePlus account towards an award ticket, this promotion does offer a slightly faster way to do so without having to actually fly as a passenger aboard an airplane.
